No, it isn't a joke Archived Message Posted by scrabb on December 7, 2021, 5:02 pm Labour's Harriet Harman has announced she will not run for her Camberwell and Peckham seat in the next general election. The former minister said she intended to step back after nearly 40 years in Parliament. Ms Harman, 71, is known as the "Mother of the House" as Britain's longest-serving female MP, first joining the Commons as MP for the south London seat in 1982. In an email to constituents, she said: "I feel I can leave the House of Commons now confident that Labour is gaining strength under the leadership of Keir Starmer and the new team he has appointed."
